Coming from the "Is What You Pay Me For" department, Lockergnome database demigod David Breddam circumvents an account agitation. Who doesn't check their e-mail at least twice a minute? Most users call upon Outlook Express (since it's relatively simple to use). There are alternatives on the market, but why buy the cow when you get the milk for free? Outlook 2000 is there for those of us who need a full-blown information manager, though. Once you've configured your account(s) for either of Microsoft's Internet mail clients, you shouldn't have to enter them again. In the Tools menu, select Accounts. See that little 'Export' button? Use it! Save your settings somewhere for possible future importation (the 'My Documents' folder is recommended).
